Thanks to Professor Andster for passing this along.
David Copperfield’s company has filed a law suit over what they describe as faulty work on DC’s private island Musha Cay.
This according to Vegas Inc.
Splashes was hired to work on features called the Secret Village Entryway or the Village Tunnel Entryway, but the features it installed “have proven defective,” and Splashes has failed to correct the problems, the suit says.
There also seems to be a dispute with one particular employee.
The suit also claims Splashes principal Robert North went to work for Copperfield’s company, that Copperfield’s company built a workshop for him called an illusion factory and that North then walked off the job in April after 13 months of work.
The suit seeks an injunction barring North from working for competing magicians during the balance of his three-year employment agreement with Copperfield’s company.
It also seeks a court order confirming that North is required not to disclose trade secrets.
Copperfield’s suit claims that North breached an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in part by “forming business alliances or relationships for his sole benefit (to plaintiff‘s exclusion) with other competing magicians while still on the payroll of plaintiff.”
More on this as it develops.
David Copperfield demonstrates his Origami routine on the Arsenio Hall show before sitting down for an interview that includes hilarious picture of the host’s humble magic origins.
We have no context, we have no explanation. All we have is the video evidence that David Copperfield and T-Pain were in the same place at the same time auto-tuning themselves with Mr. Pain’s iPhone app.
So… that happened.
I truly wish there were any words to describe what you are about to see. Alas, there are none. Just totally insane. Enjoy!
No war.
David Copperfield went out of his way to make a young St. Louis girl very happy when he took a picture with her Flat Stanley doll backstage. It was orchestrated by her father Tony Volkman or as he’s known in some circles, Diva Coppafeel a drag queen who currently holds the title of Miss Gay Midwest America.
Volkman asked DC if he’s be willing to help out with a picture on the Copperfield Facebook page. Everything was arranged and little Bella Volkman got a great addition to her project.
Flat Stanley is a literacy project where kids mail their doll to friends and family and then have to keep a journal based on pictures taken.

It’s a shtick that’s been done a few times. But Italian comedy magician Alessandro Politi (a.k.a. Big Magician) has a fresh run of non-magical moments made magical with the aide of some big hand gestures and and wide stances.
Politi also has a MySpace stream with a bunch of appearances on an Italian television series where he plays a kilt-clad magi demonstrating similarly unimpressive tricks performed with over the top bravado.
